You can always go to another instance that wishes to associate with them. The idea of the fediverse is you get to pick the experience you want.

    I think defederation speaks volumes of the quality of the content in the instances that are blocked, wouldn't you agree? I wouldn't want to listen to genocide apologists or astroturfed propaganda. Yes that means the echo chamber gets a little more closed off but it's a prevention of exposure to some bad actors. I certainly wouldn't want to put up with people who do Charlie Kirk or Tucker Carlson moves by "just asking questions" all the time.

    People on the Fediverse need to learn sooner or later that instances don't exist for them to access the rest of the fediverse. They exist to be and host their own communities. From the first perspective defederation might seem antithetical to the purpose of an instance, but from the second perspective it isn't.

    It actually makes much more sense.
